Voter Fraud Tally Keep Growing ...

“Two more convicted felons have been charged in connection with voting illegally in last year’s November election, adding to the growing list of fraudulent voting behavior. Earlier this year, we said we expected charges to continue to pile up as authorities thoroughly proceeded with their investigation into the abuses that occurred on Election Day last year. So far, that has been true. The new charges bring the total number of felons charged for voting illegally to 12. In addition, two people have been charged for double voting and two others for falsifying registration cards. More charges are to be expected.

“We have no reason to believe that our election system is going to improve if leads into abuses of the system are not pursued. In order to ensure a clean and fair election system, voter fraud needs to be weeded out once and for all. We commend authorities who are working diligently to ensure the integrity of our system. It is unfortunate that Governor Doyle continues to block common sense election reform legislation in photo ID. The Governor can hide behind his empty rhetoric and never allow the facts to get in the way of his partisan spin but the people of Wisconsin pay closer attention to voter fraud than he thinks.”
